8 ways to honor your wife

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” – 1 Peter 3:7

“I’ve learned through the years that Marilynn has a sixth sense, a kind of a radar system that can anticipate issues, problems and difficulties in my life. When I listen to her and guard her words, things go better. When I don’t, I often times step in stuff and I’ve learned that through the years.”

2. Be a man of God.

Don’t look to your wife to be your life. Instead look to Jesus to fulfill that promise.

3. Encourage her gifts.

Your wife is talented and gifted. Encourage her to pursue what God has instore for her through those gifts.

“She’s uniquely gifted so I’ve helped her in every way that I possibly can explore her speaking giftedness, her writing giftedness, her leadership giftedness, etc.”

4. Respect her opinion.

“I want to know what she feels about things, I want to know who she’s reading, who’s teaching her, from where she’s learning and when she gives me her opinion I need to honor that opinion.”

5. Ask her, ‘How is your heart?’

It’s important that you pay attention to the condition of your wife’s heart by asking her important questions.

“When we’re together every Friday we take that day off, we disconnect from the church, we unplug our phones and we go out and have coffee together and just talk. As often as I can I ask her the question, ‘How’s your heart?’
